Hey there stanger! My name is Alex Gorbatchev and I wrote TextExt.

Did you know that it took months of hard work and two full weeks of vacation time to bring this
awesome plugin to you completly free? Did you also know that I love coffee and beer and it makes
me feel that my hard work is really appreciated when you buy me one or say thanks?

Please take a second to show your appreciation and donate to keep development going! Click the button

Don't Panic!

Core

Plugins

This is the manual page, it’s friendlier than other manual pages, in some circles even known as “THE manual”. Please consult it first for any TextExt related question, and if you don’t find your answers, please consult it second and third. If all else fails, use the towel to wipe your tears and then reach out to me on the TextExt Twitter hot support line. The “hotness” of said support line may or may not be actually all that hot. The temprature will vary greatly based on your time zone, my time zone and whenever or not somebody recently purchased the whole shenanigans.

If you are curious what “TextExt” stands for, not unlike the “PHP”, it’s a double reverse self referencing anagram where “TExt” expands to “TextExt”. Also stands for “Text EXTREME!!!!” with that exact number of exclamation signs and to only be said out loud with the coarse, rustic, honed in one hundred battles kind of voice.

For the sake of filling in the rest of the page with something useful, here’s the “README” again. If you are asked once again to refer to the manual page, you may skip this step at your leisure since you are already on that page.

About

TextExt is a plugin for jQuery which is designed to provide functionality such as tag input and autocomplete.

The core design principle behind TextExt is modularity and extensibility. Each piece of functionality is separated from the main core and can act individually or together with other plugins.

TextExt’s modular design allows you easily turn a standard HTML text input into a wide range of modern, tailored to your needs input field without bloating your source code and slowing down your site with the code that you aren’t using.

A wide number of plugins are available including Tags, Autocomplete, Filter, Ajax as well as a few which are purely aesthetic like Focus.

Please refer to the manual for the full API documentation and examples.
